2 is too small, you should try 500 or something.

Thanks Scott and Asim for answering my query. I got restrt file now.
I want to freeze some of my residues during 'minimization'. What should I do. I tried
to use RES in input file for sanders with force constant value 2 but the atom moved a
lot after the minimzation. Should I use higher value of force constant like 100 or am I
missing something. I will appreciate if you can answer my queries.
 
Thanks & regards,
